A woman who was found dead alongside her husband in their home in Tipperary last Monday died from an illness garda believe.
As the couple had been lying in their home undiscovered for up to 18 months, the exact medical cause of her death will never be uncovered, reports the Independent.
Officers are satisfied that Nicholas Smith (81) died from natural causes and are working on the theory his wife Hilary (79) died from an illness, an informed source told the Independent.
